What do you listen to before races or workouts?
Pearl Jam greatest hits, the 2nd CD with all the rockier tracks…‘Spin the Black Circle’ must be the best for an indoor session for example…for peace and tranquility Cafe del Mar chill-out music from Ibiza, Spain…
Before races: Hans Zimmer’s award winning soundtrack to “Gladiator”.
A combination of Juno Reactor and AfroCelt.
i listen to chemical brothers and stuff like ‘battle without honor or humanity’ from the kill bill vol2 OST. any more suggestions?
Just to add a little something more to this. I posted a couple playlists on the imix tab on itunes. I thought it was a pretty cool feature offered. You can post your mixes and let everyone else look at them/download them. Two that I posted are 1 hour run and 1 hour workout. Both last as close to an hour as I could get. Anyone else want to publish their imixes?

You might like my suggestions then… I have odd musical tastes but here goes:
FatBoy Slim - weapon of choice, praise you
Daft Punk - Da Funk, harder faster stronger
Velvet Revolver - Slither
Queens of the Stone Age - No one knows, Little Sister
The Vines - Ride (think about hammering in a break away when you put this track on)
Anyway, you can see my musical selections are all over the map… But those tracks get my blood pumping.
- Fischerspooner
- DJ Shadow (go find the Six Days remix w/Mos Def - it’s amazing)
- Incubus
- Godflesh
- Jay Z
- Vitalic
.
everything from rap to punk including but not limited to:
Social Distortion, AC/DC, Run DMC, Youngblood Brass Band, The Hives, White Stripes, Jurassic 5, Bad Religon…etc.
Kurt
You can’t go wrong rockin’ out with the hatecrew.
Track 7 from the “Gangs of New York” soundtrack usually get my blood pumpin…It’s the background music from the very first battle scene…
The remix of ‘Black’ on disc two of the BestofPearlJam cd is a good starter to relax me.
Then it’s right into:
Toxicity–System of a Down
Bulls on Parade–Rage Against the Machine
Freak on a Leash–Korn
Square Dance–Eminem
Numb/Encore–Linkin Park/JayZ
Stuff like that. When i’m biking though (and secluded enough {Eastern Shore of Maryland} to pop an ipod headphone into one ear, so RELAX!) it’s all Dave, all the time…
